The English rock group Led Zeppelin's seventh studio album, Presence, was released on March 31, 1976, by Swan Song Records, their own label. Designed by Hipgnosis in collaboration with George Hardie, the cover and inner sleeve showcase humans interacting with a black object in the shape of an obelisk. The object inside the sleeve is called just "The Object". It was meant to symbolize the "force and presence" of Zeppelin.
An artificial marina was set up in London's Earl's Court arena for the annual Boat Show during the winter of 1974–1975, and it can be seen in the backdrop of the cover shot. A few months after the boat gig, in May 1975, the band performed at this location for a number of shows. The interior sleeve images were inspired by a National Geographic piece and were taken from a variety of stock photos from the archives.[24] Samantha Gates, who was pictured on the back cover with her brother Stefan, was also featured on the cover of Houses of the Holy. In 1977, Hipgnosis and Hardie received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Album Package.
